Sensory Perception and Visual Cues

Depth Perception

• Binocular disparity is the cue that helps us perceive depth by comparing the different images received by each eye.
• Convergence is the cue that helps us perceive depth by the degree to which our eyes turn inward to focus on an object.

Perception Constancy

• Constancy is the term for our perception of an object remaining constant even if it appears different on our retina.

Sensory Adaptation

• Habituation is the term for the process by which our senses become less responsive to a constant stimulus over time.
• Sensory adaptation is the term for the ability of our senses to adjust to different levels of stimulation.
